Imaginarium with Recess Calgary
February 27, 6:30-9:00 PM
March 6, 6:30-9:00 PM
Tap back into your imagination during this workshop hosted by Recess Calgary and Lougheed House. Guided by Recess’s Coach T, participants will reimagine their own creative potential by transforming parts of the house into a curiosity shop-style exhibit. With guidance from Coach T, participants will have time to create their own micro-installations which will then be displayed throughout the house. Through this creative process, participants will explore and experiment with creative placemaking, playful futurism, and how to rethink the use of public space by asking the question: “Whose imagination are we living in? All participants are also encouraged to register for and attend the Open House on March 20, where works will be displayed and family and friends are welcome.
